RE: Engine, back plate troubles
Ha trash bag ) Thanks guys. I actually just bought at Goldberg Eagle 2 trainer kit. This was the first plane I flew, and I had a great time with it. It was very easy to control and was able to fly at slow speeds and floats can be added. I was going to use my 40LA on it but if you guys don't think thats enough juice I'll purchase another engine. After recalcualting while the plane itself was pretty cheap for it's quality, you are right kits are not cheaper. I may have to buy new servos, a new reciever and a new radio. I will be testing my old equipment first and just hope it works. I have everything charging.
I am not refusing any help. I have been listening to everyones comments. I am planning to break the engine in properly and I bought a balancer with the Eagle 2 so that I can make sure the front and tail are equal weight. I will go through comments that any you have have given about breaking the engine and what to test before flight and I will read the manuals that come with the parts. The only part that I probably will not be able to able to do is have an experienced flyer available to look at it, it's a small town.
I'm all set for now, once I get the part I'll install the engine, charge batteries and start testing the electronics. I will not turn the engine over anymore without fuel in it. Thanks for the help guys, a lot of comments and I will not put my engine in the oven.
